GeoMEM Ltd, the independent reseller of Earth Science software, tools and instruments has announced that it has been appointed as a UK and Ireland representative for DAT instruments.

GeoMEM will now sell and support DAT instruments’ data acquisition devices and drilling automation systems and software in the UK.

DAT instruments have developed devices used by the mining, drilling and construction industries to automate drilling processes; including jet grouting, CFA injections and vibroflotation. The instruments measure and record all the key operational data which can then be uploaded to a PC for review and assessment.

DAT instruments is an Italian company that specialises in the design and production of instruments and software used in special foundation jobs such as piling, jet grouting, CFA, diaphragm walls, drilling, grout injection, soil mixing and vibrofloatation. DAT instruments offers a range of products, both standard and custom made, which can assist customers with multi-site operations. Founded in 2001 by Amedeo Valoroso, DAT instruments is a fast growing company that serves over twenty countries on five continents.
